Yordanos Ethiopian Restaurant

Outside of Fairfax, Ethiopian food restaurants are few and far in between in L.A., but this casual, family-run restaurant more than fills the gap in South L.A. with its menu full of traditional favorites like kitfo (a steak tartare seasoned with herbed butter, cardamom, bird’s eye chili and cloves) and an injera platter topped with whole fried fish and a dazzling array of vegetables and stews. Stopping in with a group? Opt for the coffee jebena, served family-style out of an clay Ethiopian coffee pot.
